Hearing this, Wu Tian nodded and said, "This is a good thing. No problem, I'll be right there."
After the call ended, Wu Tian headed directly to the square.
By this time, many villagers were already busy in the square. Tables and chairs were set up everywhere, making it look very lively.
As soon as Wu Tian arrived, the villagers immediately surrounded him.
Everyone lavished him with praise and even offered to introduce him to potential partners. They treated him like a celebrity.
Wu Tian found this somewhat troublesome, knowing that Wang Damao must have exaggerated his accomplishments to the sky.
Wu Tian spent half the day fending off the villagers' enthusiasm, finally managing to break free from their encirclement. He couldn't help but sigh.
Just then, a cheerful, somewhat playful laugh reached him.
"Oh, isn't this our village's big shot? What's wrong, uncomfortable with all the praise?"
Wu Tian turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Xiaoli. He sighed and said, "Can you stop making fun of me? I'm already fed up."
Zhao Xiaoli smiled and said, "What's there to be bothered about? Isn't this a good thing?"
"You've done so much for our village, it's only natural for everyone to be grateful!"
"Think about it, the running water, the road repairs, the clinic, and now the orchard – aren't these all your contributions?"
"Speaking of which, I'm really curious. You weren't this capable before, so how did you become so amazing now?"
Wu Tian gave a wry smile and said, "It's just good luck. Nothing much to say."
"Oh, right. I've already sorted things out at the clinic. I'm really sorry about what happened last time!"
Zhao Xiaoli shook her head and said, "You don't need to apologize to me. I've already heard about it. That Luo Xiang was behind it all, wasn't he? I also heard you chased him away. You're truly capable!"
Wu Tian looked at her with surprise and then couldn't help but laugh, "I think you've changed quite a lot too. I remember you used to always argue with me. Why aren't you arguing now?"
"To be honest, your current attitude towards me is making me a little unaccustomed!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoli's pretty face immediately turned red.
She had indeed not gotten along well with Wu Tian in the past; they would argue whenever they met.
But things were different now. She had fallen for Wu Tian.
When facing the one she loved, what girl wouldn't feel shy?
Her gaze flickered as she said, "Oh, don't bring up the past. Really, why do you have to mention what's irrelevant?"
"In short, you are now the hero of Taohua Village. If Taohua Village can prosper, perhaps the village will even erect a statue for you!"
Wu Tian waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, you're getting carried away. I'm not dead yet, why would you erect a statue!"
Zhao Xiaoli smiled charmingly, and then they continued their conversation.
As they chatted, time unknowingly passed until twelve o'clock.
Wang Damao took the microphone and said to everyone, "Ahem, everyone, please be quiet, please be quiet! Let me say a few words first!"
"Regarding this gathering, I believe everyone already knows. That's right, this gathering is because our village is about to open an orchard."
"Everyone knows that Taohua Village, despite its long history, has never developed. It's still a poverty-stricken village."
"Other poverty-stricken villages are fake poverty-stricken villages, but our poverty-stricken village is genuinely poor."
"For this, I've been racking my brains, not knowing how to develop our village's economy."
"But now our village has a big boss, and this big boss is Wu Tian. Wu Tian helped our village complete its infrastructure, cultivated the best oranges, and secured investment from the city."
"I won't go into the specific details, I believe everyone already knows most of it."
"In short, once the orchard is built, everyone must work hard and strive to make the orchard bigger and stronger."
"From now on, Taohua Village will shed its poverty-stricken label and truly embark on the path to prosperity. Does everyone have confidence!"
Wang Damao's speech was passionate, and everyone responded enthusiastically. Wu Tian's eyes were almost drooping to the ground.
What big boss? He really dared to say that. Did he really want to erect a statue for him?
Wu Tian was thinking this to himself.
Suddenly, he heard Wang Damao loudly announce, "Since Wu Tian is here right now, let's welcome Wu Tian with the warmest applause to say a few words!"
The applause from everyone immediately became even more enthusiastic, it could be described as thunderous applause.
Zhao Xiaoli nudged Wu Tian and said, "What are you waiting for? The village head is asking you to go up!"
Wu Tian came back to his senses, and he couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart.
Alas, this Wang Damao really knew how to stir up trouble for him!
But what else could he do now? Since the words had been spoken, he had no choice but to walk up under the eager gazes of everyone and take the microphone from Wang Damao.
As Wu Tian stepped forward, the applause and cheers became even more fervent.
Looking at the faces of the villagers filled with enthusiasm, Wu Tian was suddenly moved. A surge of emotion welled up in his heart.
These simple faces looked so familiar. They were genuinely grateful to him, which was why they showed him such expressions.
Although from the beginning, Wu Tian's intention to transform Taohua Village was only to fulfill his promise to Su Qiannai.
But now, he had a new impulse in his heart.
He felt that he must work hard and transform Taohua Village into a truly prosperous village.
Even if he didn't make it into the top ten in the country, no matter what, the land that nurtured him should at least become fertile, shouldn't it?
Thinking of this, Wu Tian felt filled with strength, and the feeling of helplessness vanished completely.
He smiled and said, "Fellow villagers, thank you for your applause. As you all know, I am actually just a humble village doctor. I don't deserve such warm feelings from you."
"But no matter what, I will contribute my own strength to Taohua Village. At the same time, I hope you will support us. Let us build our home together!"
"Good! Good!" Wu Tian's speech naturally received another round of cheers.
Everyone was very supportive of Wu Tian, and the atmosphere was joyous.
Wang Damao said, "Alright, alright, the speeches are over. Everyone can start eating!"
As everyone was just taking their seats to prepare for the meal, the sound of sirens suddenly rang out.
